More than meets the eye

Looking for a pocket-sized camera with a little more power than a basic point-and-shoot? Check out the Canon PowerShot ELPH 330 HS, which packs a lot of impressive features into its super-compact body. The CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 processor combine to capture detailed, low-noise shots with speed and precision, even in low-light settings. The 24mm-equivalent wide-angle lens zooms to an impressive 10X, giving you the versatility to shoot large group shots or detailed close-ups. HD video is recorded in full 1080p resolution, so it will look great on your HDTV via the mini HDMI output (cable not included). And optical image stabilization keeps everything looking crisp and clear. These aren't the kind of specs you typically find on such a budget-friendly compact camera. And we haven't even mentioned Wi-Fi yet.

Easy, instant sharing with built-in Wi-Fi

It's easier than ever to share the high-quality photos and videos this camera delivers with friends and family. The PowerShot ELPH 330 has built-in Wi-Fi, so you can quickly get your latest shots out there for others to enjoy. Canon's free CameraWindow app for Apple® and Android™ lets you sync photos with your smartphone instantly via any Wi-Fi network. Or you can post photos directly to Canon's Image Gateway for sharing with Facebook and Twitter, no computer or smartphone required.

Canon PowerShot ELPH 330 HS

Item arrived from Crutchfield as promised. This camera has SO many features and at first it was a bit overwhelming. After going through the manual on CD however, I got the feel for how it worked and found that it takes very good pictures in Auto mode or the P (program) mode which allows your own choices in settings. I especially like the 10x optical zoom and the wider angle capability. The flash doesn't do the greatest job when using the zoom in low light conditions but I suspect that is the case with most cameras. Have been doing a lot of experimenting with zooming, videos, menu items etc. and the battery seems to last a reasonably long time. It also has fast recharge time. Not much more than an hour. There is also a movie digest feature which is chosen by sliding a switch in the back to the green icon. It then shoots in auto mode in addition to taking a quick video clip of the picture you are taking. If you want just Auto mode without the movie digest you have to go into the menu and choose Auto. That was confusing to me at first.

Pros:Nice style and display screen, small and lightweight, nice quality pictures, fast startup, battery life quite long and fast recharge time, good video and good macro shots. The video mode is chosen by the push of a red button on the back of the camera at anytime without having to turn a thumbwheel to choose that mode or go into the menu. Haven't tried the WiFi setup yet so no opinion on that. In general I am very pleased with this camera except for the one CON listed below.

Cons:A lot of settings , even choosing between auto or P(program mode), are done by going into the menu with the push of a button on the back and then scrolling the menu to choose what you want. A bit cumbersome and the buttons are flush to the camera surface and on the small side so someone with large fingers may have trouble with this. My older Sony had a thumbwheel on back to choose shooting modes etc. which was a bit more handy.

Canon PowerShot ELPH 330 HS

Pros:Intuitive, easy to carry around, great pics with little effort. What a point and shoot should be.

Cons:Only issue I had was with the flash not going off in situations I thought it should have. Flash went off I would say about 95% of the time as it should. Could also be user error but not sure at this point.

Great little camera

Pros:- Takes great pictures.
- Lots of cool features as well as full manual functions.
- Big bright screen.
- Very easy to use as a simple point and shoot.
- Wi-fi feature is awesome.

Cons:- Only 12 MP while some cameras are 16-18 MP these days.
- Wi-fi is tedious to set up, but once it's working, it's quite easy to use.
- Would be nice if it were touch screen, but the lack of it made the price much more reasonable.

Canon Elph 330 HS

I bought this to replace an earlier model Canon point and shoot that was stolen. I love this one too -- for the excellent photo quality and the very small size, which means that when I come upon a scene worth photographing, the camera is in my pocket or pocket book instead of at home. (My SLR is going on Craigslist.) The WiFi capability is not intuitive -- will have to take a minute to look into that.

Product Research

Recording Features

3" LCD Monitor: The Canon PowerShot ELPH 330 HS has a
3.0" TFT LCD monitor, featuring 461,000 dots with approximately 100% picture coverage
and a 5-level brightness adjustment. The Night Display feature automatically brightens the LCD monitor to suit the
brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject in dark
conditions.

Built-in Wi-Fi: The camera has built-in Wi-Fi technology,
allowing you to wirelessly connect and send images to other Wi-Fi capable
devices such as computers, tablets, or smartphones using the downloadable Canon
CameraWindow app (iOS version 5.1/6.0/6.1 or later, or Android version
2.3/4.0/4.1 or later). You can also share images and video through the Canon Image Gateway, on
Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. You can also print your photos on Wi-Fi
compatible printers on wireless networks. It is compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless
LAN specifications.

GPS (via Wi-Fi): When the camera is connected to a
smartphone using the CameraWindow app, GPS data, such as latitude, longitude,
and elevation, can be added to images on the camera. The Coordinated Universal
Time code (UTC) information can also be added to the image file to indicate the
shooting date and time.

Image Sensor/Processor: The camera is equipped with a 1/2.3" CMOS image sensor
with 12.8-million total pixels, and 12.1-million effective pixels.

Optics: The ELPH 330 HS has a 10x optical
zoom lens with a 4.3-43.0mm focal length (35mm equivalent is 24-240mm).

Zoom: In addition to the 10x optical zoom, the camera
features a 4x digital zoom. When used in combination, the total zoom is
approximately 40x. The focal length when using the optical zoom and digital zoom
together is approximately 24-960mm.

Digital Teleconverter: The focal length of the lens can be
increased by an equivalent of 1.5x or 2.0x through the use of the Digital Teleconverter. The equivalent focal lengths of the lens (35mm equivalent) are
36-360mm when using the 1.5x digital teleconverter, and 48.0-480.0mm with the 2.0x teleconverter. The digital zoom and digital teleconverter cannot be used
simultaneously.

Recording Media:
The camera records still images or moving images with stereo audio on
SD Memory
Cards (2GB or less), SDHC Memory Cards (4GB to 32GB), and SDXC Memory Cards (32GB
and higher). The camera does not have internal memory, nor does it include an SD card, so you will be required to obtain a memory card before recording.

Still Image Resolution/Compression:
The ELPH 330 HS can record still images in JPEG format in 4 different sizes (Large, Medium 1,
Medium 2, and Small) and 4 aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 3:2, and 1:1). For each

Linear PCM monaural) in High Definition at 1920 x 1080 (24 fps) or 1280 x 720 (30 fps). You can also
shoot in Standard Definition at 640 x 480 pixels (30 fps). Recording will
automatically stop when either the clip file size reaches 4 GB or the recording
time reaches approximately 10 minutes in 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720, or 1 hour in
640 x 480.

Intelligent Image Stabilization: The ELPH 330 HS is equipped with
Intelligent image stabilization (Intelligent IS). To correct the effects of camera shake,
the camera automatically chooses one of the following IS modes for the shooting
condition:

Continuous: always applied for still images

Panning: for still images when panning

Hybrid IS: for Macro shots

Dynamic IS: for movies, reducing strong camera shake as
when shooting when walking

Powered IS: for movies, for subtle camera shake, such
as when shooting movies at telephoto

None: no image stabilization

Face Detection Technology: The camera's Face Detection
Technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to
shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash, and white
balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and
backgrounds are properly exposed. Smart Shutter automatically shoots a picture
after detecting a smile, even without pressing the shutter release button.

Focus Lock: If it becomes difficult to focus on the
subject due to low contrast to the surroundings, close up and far away subjects
in the same shot, or quickly moving subjects, you can choose to lock the focus
or auto focus on an object at a similar distance, then shoot the picture after
recomposing the shot.

Focusing Range: The camera features the following focus
ranges (from the end of the lens):

Auto: 0.4" to infinity (W), 3.3' to infinity (T)

Normal: 2" to infinity (W),
3.3' to infinity (T)

Macro: 0.4" to 1.6' (wide)

Infinity: 9.8' to infinity (W/T)

Shooting Modes: You can choose between several shooting modes. In
the Smart Auto mode, the camera will automatically select the best settings for
the scene, detect and focus on faces, and set the color and brightness to
optimal levels. The Hybrid Auto Mode lets you make a short movie of the day
(digest movie). When you record a still image, the camera will automatically
record a movie clip of the scene immediately before each shot. You can also choose from shooting modes that match specific
scenes: Portrait, Handheld NightScene, Snow, and Fireworks. If you wish to add special
effects to images while shooting, you can choose from Super Vivid, Poster
Effect, Fish-Eye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Monochrome, Soft
Focus, Color
Accent, and Color Swap.

Continuous Shooting: In the Program mode, the
camera will continuously take pictures at approximately 2.4 frames per second,
as long as you hold down the shutter button. The image size is not limited, and
the focus and exposure are determined when you press the shutter button halfway.
In High Speed Burst mode, the camera will continuously take pictures at approximately
6.2 frames per second at a lower resolution (1984 x 1488).

Stitch Assist: You can shoot a large subject or a wide
landscape by taking multiple shots, and use the provided PhotoStitch software to
combine them into a panorama.

Super Slow Motion: Fast-moving objects can be recorded for
playback in slow motion. This is particularly helpful when recording certain
sports. Thirty-second movie clips are recorded at very high frame rates and
played back at a normal frame rate. Clips recorded at 240 fps at a resolution of
320 x 240 have a 4 minute playback time. Clips recorded at 120 fps at 640 x 480
play back in 2 minutes. Zooming is not available, and no sound is recorded
during slow-motion recording.

Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes:

Evaluative: used for standard
conditions. The area within the frame is divided into several zones and
light is measured based on subject position, brightness, direct light and
backlighting.

Center-Weighted
Averaging: averages the exposure from the entire image, but places more
weight on the subject at the center

Spot: meters the area within the spot AE point at the
center of the LCD monitor or viewfinder

Exposure Compensation:
If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may
need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You
can set the adjustments from -2 to +2 in 1/3-step increments.

Locking the
Exposure Setting (AE Lock): You can set the focus and exposure
separately to shoot. When the exposure is set, you can lock the setting, then
compose the scene and shoot. This is effective when the contrast is too
strong between the subject and background, or when a subject is backlit. Flash
Exposure Lock (FE Lock), just as with the AE lock, lets you lock the exposure
for shooting with the flash.

White Balance: You
can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent
H, and Custom.

Flash Modes: The PowerShot ELPH 330 HS has a built-in
flash with a range of 1.6' to 13' in Wide Angle and 3.3' to 6.6' in Telephoto.
You can select Auto (flash fires in low light), On (flash always fires), Slow
Synchro (illuminates subject in foreground while the slow shutter speed
brightens the background not reached by the flash), or Off
(flash doesn't fire). In the menu, you can turn on the Red-Eye Reduction lamp
for the flash, and apply Red-Eye Correction to the images that have been taken.

ISO Speed: The ISO speed can be set
Automatically (ISO Auto), or manually to ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200,
or 6400. Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images but there's a
greater chance of subject or image blurring in certain shooting conditions.
Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing blurred
images. The images, however, will appear more coarse.

My Colors: You
can choose the look and feel of the photos you take by using My Colors to add
the following effects to the image you are currently recording or have already
recorded: Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, B/W, Positive Film, Lighter Skin, Darker Skin, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red,
and Custom Color.

Self-Timer: The ELPH 330 HS utilizes a 10-second, 2-second, and
a custom self-timer to allow
the photographer to be included in the shot, or to avoid camera shake when using
a tripod. The custom self-timer allows you to set the time delay to 1-15, 20, 25, or 30 seconds for up to 10 shots.

Wink Self Timer: In addition to the standard and custom
self-timers, the ELPH 330 HS can be set to record an image of a person
approximately two seconds after detecting a wink.

Face Self-Timer: The Face Self-Timer automatically
detects an increase in the number of faces, and makes the appropriate
adjustments. When the Face Detection Self-Timer is set, the camera waits for
the photographer's face to get on-camera before it takes the shot. The
camera will shoot, two seconds after the new face is detected.

Playback,
Editing and Print Functions

Slide Show: Images stored on a memory card can automatically
be displayed one-by-one using the Slide Show function. You can set the playback
time for each image, and the transition effects when switching between images.
If desired, you can repeat the slide show automatically.

Index Display:
This feature allows you to view 4, 9, 16, 36, or 100 images at once on the
LCD monitor so that you can search for an image quickly. Movies cannot be played
in the index playback mode.
